I used to wear vans which wore out in 3 months or less, bought some five ten sleuths and they lasted about a year of solid riding once a week for 5-6hours. Bought these to upgrade the worn sleuths, was going to go with the free rider pros, but some people stated they were too stiff. These are much more ridgid / sturdier than the sleuth, soles are thicker and very sticky on the pedals. Still able to feel the pedals, but very supportive. Padded tongues and toes feel more protected. Haven’t used them long enough to see any signs of wear, but I’m sure they will last longer. Half price with sale, couldn’t be beat. Get yourself a pair

I have been suspicious of claims that flat pedal shoes that aren't designated as "Wide" or "EE" would fit my EE foot. For years the only shoes I can wear are Sidi Mega or Lake wide width biking shoes. But when it comes to flat pedal shoes, forget it. After spending hours researching shoes that aren't available I decided to take a chance on Five Ten Freeriders from REI which have been noted by several people as adequate for wide feet. So at a reduced price I ordered a pair last week and upsized 1/2 size from 11 to 11-1/2. Glad to report that these shoes fit very comfortably. My non-biking New Balance shoes I used for flat pedals are heavy, a bit roomier width wise but are clunky and the tread is way more than needed. The Five Tens Freeriders fit a bit more snugly - ...

The Five Tens Freeriders fit a bit more snugly - but comfortably - and they will stretch a little. So glad I finally found a flat pedal shoe that's readily available and at a reasonable price at REI. Plus the return policy is great, unlike Amazon where if a Freerider doesn't fit there was a restocking fee. My suggestion is go for it at REI.

These shoes are a sheer pleasure to cycle with.Fit is perfect, the grip on the pedals allows surefooted pedaling without the worry of feet slipping off. Now able to pedal with greater force and smoothness using much more of the crank revolution to get the power to the back wheel.Contact with the pedals feels like it should be, with a greater contact patch, which inspires confidence.I will be getting the same in black leather for the winter, with the added insulation they are bound to keep the weather out and feet warm. Will probably go for half a size bigger though so there is room for thick thermal socks.In Scotland, it gets cold enough for that! 😁

Love these flat pedal shoes! The fit and comfort feels great. The grip is amazing I've rode pedals with no traction pins and I prefer it that way, but not if your riding in wet conditions. I thought the quality of Five Ten would tank when they were acquired by Adidas but it's been just the opposite. Their shoes are lighter, just as grippy, comfortable, and as durable as they've ever been. I always rode the Spitfires which they don't make anymore and wasn't sure if I'd like the Freeriders but I ended up loving them...
I have been using this for awhile on single-track with my Novarro Hickory 29er and in town with my Co-op CTY2.1. On either bike the platform sole gives me a great response on the pedal, both in its firmness and the grip of the tread. The shoe is also flexible enough that when I get off the bike I can walk around comfortably enough. Because these look like skate shoes, I can wear them when I bike to my favorite taproom/food truck/pod and not look like a road bike geek.One unexpected plus were the laces. They are short enough so there are no dangles to get caught in the bike chain, but beefy enough it looks like I won’t be needing to replace them any time soon.The shoes are stiff enough that I would not try them on any lengthy walks, but as a bike shoe comfortable ...

Got these for mountain biking. On the good side, these shoes do stay on pedals well. However these shoes have some major problems. The laces are the trendy style of flat laces that skateboarders seem to like, however flat laces tend to come untied and these do as well. I have to double tie them to make sure they don't cause a horrible biking accident. The round laces were developed about 25+ years ago to prevent this problem and work great. What's wrong with 5-10 that they don't know this? The shoes are very basic and have no padding in the soles and no support. They are very hard to walk a trail in when you need to dismount for a steep section or trail hazard. I put an arch support in the shoes, but that isnt enough to fix the lack of support in these shoes. They ... MoreGot these for mountain biking. On the good side, these shoes do stay on pedals well.

I put an arch support in the shoes, but that isnt enough to fix the lack of support in these shoes. They have lots of padding inside to accommodate every possible foot, but this makes them a sloppy fit and also makes them hot. They are quite heavy for a shoe that has so little support. While the soles are flat, they are not at all firm and twist and turn easily, as others have mentioned. While the sole works great on MTB pedals, it has little traction on any other surface. Not good on floors, cement or anything else. Consider also that you may need to get off your bike to go over a creek or a long, muddy section, as I have had to do many times. These shoes will be a mess afterwards and are hard to clean and dry. Overall, this is an astonishingly bad shoe for one that is so popular with mountain bikers. Forget being cool and look for something else!!!
The Five Ten Freerider shoes seem well-made, and they work well with my Look flat pedals. They're a little heavy but I'm riding for exercise so it's no problem for me. If you're looking for a more efficient shoe, I would go with the Pro. I think the shoes run small. I normally take a size 11 in shoes, but needed these in 11.5.
This is my 2nd pair of Freeriders so I knew I was getting a great flat shoe. 2 rides in and I can't complain. Now what about the sizing?I've read a lot of reviews on many different sites and for every "size as expected" review, I see a "size up, arrived smaller than expected" review.My Freeriders were sized as expected based on the size chart on Scotby Cycle so no issues there, BUT they are 2 sizes bigger than my 6-year-old outgoing Freeriders (I could probably have managed only going 1 size bigger but it was a close call based on the size chart and they ride well as is)So my conclusion is this.After measuring BOTH feet.....twiceIf you're a 1st time Five-Ten buyer check the charts and you should be ok.If you're a repeat Five-Ten buyer, check the charts ...

Don't assume the sizing is consistent across seasons . . . even though that assumption seems reasonable to me.
I purchased these shoes to be ridden on my mountain bike for some cross country riding and downhill fun. I was immediately impressed with the grip of the soles against my pedals. I would attribute this to the rubber and the tread pattern, which seems a bit odd for general traction to me, but I'm planning on using these to stick to my pedals, so it's a win. The BMX style is my preference over the other options for mountain bike shoes, as I want to look nothing like a roadie when I'm not biking and I like the padded tongue and heel.Sizing: I normally wear between a 9-10 for shoes, depending on brand/model. Solomon XC runners I need a 10 to fit perfectly, where my Puma Suede fit is great with a 9 or 9.5. I chose a size 9 for these shoes because I wanted the tightest ...

Solomon XC runners I need a 10 to fit perfectly, where my Puma Suede fit is great with a 9 or 9.5. I chose a size 9 for these shoes because I wanted the tightest fit possible so my feet weren't moving at all in them. After trying on (in store) I felt no discomfort at all with having my toes fully touching. I wear standard thickness socks typically and do not feel a need to go thinner.The only flaws I can see so far is in materials and finishing. The exterior material could use to be more abrasion resistant, in my opinion. It IS soft, flexible, and breathable, which helps them fit very well, but for long-term durability, this will not hold up as well as full leather. Also, as another reviewer noted, the stitching around the top of the sole penetrates inside the toe box, and you can feel it very well with your fingers inside. I do not have a problem with this, as my toes don't touch this area, but for someone with a different shape of foot this could be a huge disqualifying factor.
The title really says it all, but I switched to these because I was tired of not being able to unclip in time when hitting unexpected trail obstacles going uphill, or chain coming off, or... Nothing better than tipping over, and the great amusement for others you generate while struggling with your bike in the dirt. These shoes provide the security I want on downhills, similar to clipless, and the flexibility to instantly step off the pedal when needed. You obviously lose the upstroke, but I'm just done with clipless on mountain bikes.I wear a size 9.5 - 10, but in 90% of shoes/boots, 9.5. These need to be a 10 for me. They are narrow on my already narrow feet, but I like that for this application.I try to avoid bad weather, usually, but I live in northwestern ...

Trails get muddy and getting wet is unavoidable. I haven't tested them in wet conditions, but they don't claim to be waterproof. They seem pretty thick, and shouldn't let in a bunch of water easily, but I would say these are fair-weather shoes. I'll probably wear my waterproof hiking shoes in bad weather, and just hope to not slip off the pedals.Overall, I like these, and they do well what they are advertised to do. They also don't look dorky, so I can wear them from trail to pub.
